No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Dear Blair, Ivo made me look at your beautiful tall glass which I'm afraid to say is not a hyacinth vase. It's far too tall for that, hyacinth vases are never taller than 8 inches and I think you have a Lily vase (see British homes and Antiques magazine August 2006). There are hyacinth vases a bit like this and they are only made in the UK from about 1900 till 1940 if that's any help. I can't tell you who made them, my glass knowledge doesn't go that far, Patricia
